Ciao👋🏻! I'm Matteo and I'm not an ordinary tourist guide.

If you’ve come this far it means you want to know more about me so here’s some information!

Besides the boring stuff (my name is Matteo, I’m 33 and I was born and raised in Bergamo) I want to tell you what I like and how I created Walking Cap!

In fact, there are several things I love to do:

  • Travelling ✈
  • Storytelling 🗣
  • Eating 🍕
  • Playing the guitar 🎸

Anyway, I discovered the existence of Free Walking Tour in 2015 on a trip to Portugal and since then every visit abroad for me is an opportunity to take one!

A few years ago some Australian friends, whom I met just through a free walking tour, came to visit me in Bergamo and it was the first time I acted as a “storyteller” for friends!

So, also thinking about my passions, I started studying, got my tour leader license and my tourist guide license, and now here I am!

I started by organizing free tours in my city, Bergamo, and found that I was having so much fun!

I still run free tour in Bergamo! If you want to book it, you can click on this button!

 

It was my “second job” and I couldn’t accommodate all the tourists so I wrote my own digital city guide to provide support to all those who couldn’t sign up for my free tour!

Hence I decided to expand Walking Cap! Studying as a guide and tour leader, I met so many people in many cities in Italy. 

Together with them, I have created (and continue to create) new guides that allow independent sightseeing thanks to my digital platform!
